Within the "International Sherry Week" that was held on the initiative of "Tierra Nuestra" in Seville, we would like to highlight our presence in an instructive tasting of five wines from the Apellation Sherry, along with five different parts of the acorn-fed cured ham Cinco Jotas, 100% acorn, and from Jabugo in the mountainous area of Huelva (Andalusia, Spain).

Cinco Jotas acorn-fedham from Jabugo

We began the tasting with a "manzanilla wine", "La Guita", light, dry, and little acid, which salty and sharp touches, and its freshness, enhance the part of the ham designated for the occasion "la maza".

Manzanilla is a native white wine from Sanlucar de Barrameda, Cádiz, within the so-called triangle of Jerez. Pale yellow, odorous, with a dry finish and vegetable nuances, minerals, and even salted. It is obtained from the Palomino grape, and it is a wine to consume in the year. The "manzanilla branch" is a natural manzanilla dry white wine, unfiltered obtained through a process called "flor", the result of the action of yeast on wine, resulting in a very unique type of biological aging. It is bottled directly from the boot, to the bottle, resulting in a very fresh wine that must be consumed in the shortest possible time and drunk at low temperature.
